The Mexicans and Filipinos have a lot of things in common: food, culture, and beliefs. Moreover, we love their authentic dishes like Tacos and Burritos.
This one is called Barbacoa. A Su Casa bestseller and its main ingredients are classic Mexican beef with pinto beans, tomato, onion, and Mexican rice. Barbacoa is a type of cooking meat that began in the Caribbean with the Taíno individuals, from which the expression “grill” started.(Source:Wikipedia)
Ideally, the authentic Mexican burrito’s main ingredients are only meat and refried beans. Meanwhile, in the US, burrito ingredients mostly are a combination of plain or Mexican-style rice, beans or refried beans, lettuce, salsa, meat, guacamole (optional), cheese, and sour cream.
Admittedly, I’ve been craving for some tacos and burritos lately so I asked my friends on Facebook to share with me their go-to Mexican restaurants that will satisfy our taco and burrito cravings!
Are you ready to go loco over these delightful Mexican dishes? Here we go!

Although, Taco Bell is a fast food joint, they serve equally delicious Mexican tacos and burritos, as well. We always order combination burrito or mexi-melt with a generous amount of sour cream!
10. Ristras Grill Fort

This humongous burrito is made for sharing.
Ristras Mexican Grill is a fast-food place that serves slow-cooked Mexican food using only the freshest ingredients. Just a little FYI, the word ristras is the arrangement of chili pepper pods when hung to dry. Read more about this appetizing burrito here.

FaBurrito has a different take: they offer fresh and guilt-free burritos for everyone. So, if you are looking for a healthy Mexican place, visit FaBurrito soon!
8. Taco vengo
16 United Street, Kapitolyo, Pasig City
Taco Vengo was highly recommended by my friends from Pasig. I haven’t tried personally, but will surely swing by one of these days!
7. Drive By – Taco Shop
My Fil-Am hubby was craving for some authentic tacos last week. And by authentic I mean, it has to be a real Mexican-ish taste since he is from LA. We drove by Aguirre street and tried their tacos. Mike and I genuinely loved it and would definitely come back for more! For us, it’s Taco everyday with Drive By- Taco Shop! (Try their burritos, too!)
